Commercial Lease. Start a state-specific lease for the rental of commercial property. Specify the term and rent due, as well as whether the landlord or tenant is responsible for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance and repairs.

Commercial Sublease. When a tenant vacates commercial property before the lease term has expired, it may be able to rent the premises to a third party. The tenant would be the sublessor and the third party would be the sublessee. Besides preparing a sublease, both parties will want to review the provisions for assignment or subletting in the original lease agreement between the landlord and the sublessor.

Sublease Agreement. Tenants of residential property should prepare a sublease agreement if they are seeking to sublease a room or the entire apartment or house to a third party. All parties should review the original lease agreement to see if there are any restrictions on subletting or assigning the premises.

Triple Net Lease. Triple net leases are a type of commercial leases where the tenant has to pay for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance, in addition to the monthly rent.

Office Space Lease. When renting an office space, tenants should understand the amount of the rent and duration of the lease. Other important terms include whether the space can be subleased, which parties are responsible for maintenance, and whether any furniture and furnishings will be provided.

19890-0001, as lessor (the "Lessor"), and eBAY INC., a Delaware corporation,
------
having its principal office at 2125 Hamilton Avenue, San Jose, California 95125,
as lessee (the "Lessee").
------
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, and of other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS
1.1 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise
-------------
defined in this Lease shall have the respective meanings specified in Annex A to
the Participation Agreement dated as of the date hereof among Lessee, Lessor,
Agent, the Investor and the Lenders named therein, as such Participation
Agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time,
and the rules of usage set forth in Annex A to the Participation Agreement.
SECTION 2. PROPERTY AND TERM
2.1 Property. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set
--------
forth, Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby leases from Lessor, the
following (collectively, the "Property"):
(a) all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Land
described on Schedule A attached hereto;
----------
(b) all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the
Improvements;
(c) all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to all the
Appurtenant Rights;
(d) all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to all the
Fixtures; and
(e) all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to all leases of
any portion of the Improvements and rights to Rents thereunder.
2.2 Lease Term. (a) The Property is leased for the Term, unless
----------
extended or earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Lease.
(b) The Term shall be automatically extended if the Maturity Date is
extended pursuant to Section 2.1(c) of the Credit Agreement so that the Term
will expire on the Maturity Date as so extended.
<PAGE>
2.3 Title. The Property is leased to Lessee without any
-----
representation or warranty, express or implied, by Lessor and subject to the
rights of parties in possession, the existing state of title (including, without
limitation, the Permitted Exceptions) and all applicable Legal Requirements.
Lessee shall in no event have any recourse against Lessor for any defect in
title to the Property.
SECTION 3. RENT
3.1 Rent. (a) On each applicable Payment Date, Lessee shall pay the
----
Basic Rent attributable to the Property.
(b) Basic Rent shall be due and payable in lawful money of the United
States and shall be paid by a single wire transfer of immediately available
funds on the due date therefor to such account at such bank or to such other
Person or in such other manner as Lessor shall from time to time direct.
3.2 Supplemental Rent. (a) Lessee shall pay to Lessor or the Person
-----------------
entitled thereto any and all Supplemental Rent promptly as the same shall become
due and payable, and if Lessee fails to pay any Supplemental Rent, Lessor shall
have all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or by law or equity or
otherwise in the case of nonpayment of Basic Rent. Lessee shall pay to Lessor
as Supplemental Rent, among other things, on demand, to the extent permitted by
applicable Legal Requirements, interest at the applicable Overdue Rate on any
installment of Basic Rent not paid when due for the period for which the same
shall be overdue and on any payment of Supplemental Rent not paid when due or
demanded by Lessor for the period from the due date or the date of any such
demand, as the case may be, until the same shall be paid. The expiration or
other termination of Lessee's obligations to pay Basic Rent hereunder shall not
limit or modify the obligations of Lessee with respect to Supplemental Rent.
Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Lease or any other Operative
Agreement, in the event of any failure on the part of Lessee to pay and
discharge any Supplemental Rent as and when due, Lessee shall also promptly pay
and discharge any fine, penalty, interest or cost which may be assessed or added
for nonpayment or late payment of such Supplemental Rent, all of which shall
also constitute Supplemental Rent.

Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount in accordance with Section 21.1(c).
3.3 Performance on a Non-Business Day. If any payment is required
---------------------------------
hereunder on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be due on
the next succeeding Business Day, unless, in the case of payments based on the
Eurodollar Rate, the result of such extension would be to extend such payment
into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day.
<PAGE>
SECTION 4. UTILITY CHARGES
4.1 Utility Charges. Lessee shall pay, or cause to be paid, all
---------------
charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water, telephone, sanitary sewer
service and all other rents and utilities used in or on the Property during the
Term. Lessee shall be entitled to receive any credit or refund with respect to
any utility charge paid by Lessee and the amount of any credit or refund
received by Lessor on account of any utility charges paid by Lessee, net of the
costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in obtaining such credit or refund, shall
be promptly paid over to Lessee. All charges for utilities imposed with respect
to the Property for a billing period during which this Lease expires or
terminates shall be adjusted and prorated on a daily basis between Lessor and
Lessee, and each party shall pay or reimburse the other for each party's pro
rata share thereof.
SECTION 5. QUIET ENJOYMENT
5.1 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as no Lease Event of Default shall have
---------------
occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and
enjoy the Property for the Term, free of any claim or other action by Lessor or
anyone rightfully claiming by, through or under Lessor.
SECTION 6. NET LEASE
6.1 Net Lease; No Setoff; Etc. This Lease shall constitute a net
--------------------------
lease and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Lessee shall pay
Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent without counterclaim, setoff, deduction or
defense of any kind and without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or
reduction of any kind, and Lessee's obligation to pay all such amounts is
absolute and unconditional. The obligations and liabilities of Lessee hereunder
shall in no way be released, discharged or otherwise affected for any reason,
including, without limitation, to the maximum extent permitted by law: (a) any
defect in the condition, merchantability, design, construction, quality or
fitness for use of any portion of the Property, or any failure of the Property
to comply with all Legal Requirements, including any inability to occupy or use
the Property by reason of such non-compliance; (b) any damage to, abandonment,
loss, contamination of or Release from or destruction of or any requisition or
taking of the Property or any part thereof, including eviction; (c) any
restriction, prevention or curtailment of or interference with any use of the
Property or any part thereof, including eviction; (d) any defect in title to or
rights to the Property or any Lien on such title or rights or on the Property;
(e) any change, waiver, extension, indulgence or other action or omission or
breach in respect of any obligation or liability of or by Lessor, Investor,
Agent or any Lender; (f) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceedings
relating to Lessee, Lessor, Investor, Agent, any Lender or any other Person, or
any action taken with respect to this Lease by any trustee or receiver of
Lessee, Lessor, Investor, Agent, any Lender or any other Person, or by any
court, in any such proceeding; (g) any claim that Lessee has or might have
against any Person, including, without limitation, Lessor, Investor, Agent or
any Lender; (h) any failure on the part of Lessor to perform or comply with any
of the terms of this Lease, any other Operative Agreement or of any other
agreement; (i) any invalidity
<PAGE>
or unenforceability or disaffirmance against or by Lessee of this Lease or any
provision hereof or any of the other Operative Agreements or any provision of
any thereof; (j) the impossibility of performance by Lessee, Lessor or both; (k)
any action by any court, administrative agency or other Governmental Authority;
(l) any restriction, prevention or curtailment of or any interference with the
construction on or any use of the Property or any part thereof; or (m) any other
occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether
or not Lessee shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing. This Lease
shall be noncancellable by Lessee for any reason whatsoever except as expressly
provided herein, and Lessee, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements,
waives all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise to quit,
terminate or surrender this Lease, or to any diminution, abatement or reduction
of Rent payable by Lessee hereunder. If for any reason whatsoever this Lease
shall be terminated in whole or in part by operation of law or otherwise, except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, Lessee shall, unless prohibited by Legal
Requirements, nonetheless pay to Lessor (or, in the case of Supplemental Rent,
to whomever shall be entitled thereto) an amount equal to each Rent payment at
the time and in the manner that such payment would have become due and payable
under the terms of this Lease if it had not been terminated in whole or in part,
and in such case, so long as such payments are made and no Lease Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor will deem this Lease to
have remained in effect. Each payment of Rent made by Lessee hereunder shall be
final and, absent manifest error in the computation of the amount thereof,
Lessee shall not seek or have any right to recover all or any part of such
payment from Lessor, Investor, Agent or any party to any agreements related
thereto for any reason whatsoever. Lessee assumes the sole responsibility for
the condition, use, operation, maintenance, and management of the Property and
Lessor shall have no responsibility in respect thereof and shall have no
liability for damage to the property of Lessee or any subtenant of Lessee on any
account or for any reason whatsoever, unless due to Lessor's gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
6.2 No Termination or Abatement. Lessee shall remain obligated under
---------------------------
this Lease in accordance with its terms and shall not take any action to
terminate, rescind or avoid this Lease, notwithstanding any action for
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or other
proceeding affecting Lessor, or any action with respect to this Lease which may
be taken by any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Lessor or by any court with
respect to Lessor, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Lessee hereby
waives all right (i) to terminate or surrender this Lease, except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, or (ii) to avail itself of any abatement, suspension,
deferment, reduction, setoff, counterclaim or defense with respect to any Rent.
Lessee shall remain obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms and
Lessee hereby waives any and all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or
otherwise to modify or to avoid strict compliance with its obligations under
this Lease. Notwithstanding any such statute or otherwise, Lessee shall be
bound by all of the terms and conditions contained in this Lease.
SECTION 7. OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY
7.1 Ownership of the Property. (a) Lessor and Lessee intend that (i)
-------------------------
for financial accounting purposes with respect to Lessee (A) this Lease will be
treated as an
<PAGE>
"operating lease" pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 13, as amended, (B) Lessor will be treated as the owner and lessor of the
Property and (C) Lessee will be treated as the lessee of the Property, but (ii)
for federal, state and local income tax and all other purposes (A) this Lease
will be treated as a financing arrangement, (B) the Lenders will be treated as
senior lenders making loans to Lessee in an amount equal to the Loans, which
Loans will be secured by the Property, (C) Investor will be treated as a
subordinated lender making a loan to Lessee in an amount equal to the Investor
Contribution, which loan is secured by the Property, and (D) Lessee will be
treated as the owner of the Property and will be entitled to all tax benefits
ordinarily available to an owner of property like the Property for such tax
purposes.
(b) Lessor and Lessee further intend and agree that, for the purpose
of securing Lessee's obligations for the repayment of the above-described loans,
(i) this Lease shall also be deemed to be a security agreement and financing
statement within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and a
real property mortgage or deed of trust, as applicable; (ii) the conveyance
provided for in Section 2 shall be deemed a grant of a security interest in and
a mortgage lien on the Lessee's right, title and interest in the Property
(including the right to exercise all remedies as are contained in the applicable
Mortgage and Memorandum of Lease upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of
Default) and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the
foregoing into cash, investments, securities or other property, whether in the
form of cash, investments, securities or other property, for the benefit of the
Lessor to secure the Lessee's payment of all amounts owed by the Lessee under
this Lease and the other Operative Agreements and Lessor holds title to the
Property so as to create and grant a first lien and prior security interest in
the Property (A) pursuant to this Lease for the benefit of the Agent under the
Assignment of Lease, to secure to the Agent the obligations of the Lessee under
the Lease and (B) pursuant to the Mortgage to secure to the Agent the
obligations of the Lessor under the Mortgage and the Notes; (iii) the possession
by Lessor or any of its agents of notes and such other items of property as
constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be
deemed to be "possession by the secured party" for purposes of perfecting the
security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the Uniform Commercial Code; and
(iv) notifications to Persons holding such property, and acknowledgements,
receipts or confirmations from financial intermediaries, bankers or agents (as
applicable) of Lessee shall be deemed to have been given for the purpose of
perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Lessor and Lessee
shall, to the extent consistent with this Lease, take such actions as may be
necessary to ensure that, if this Lease were deemed to create a security
interest in the Property in accordance with this Section, such security interest
would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under
applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the Basic Term.
Nevertheless, Lessee acknowledges and agrees that none of Lessor, Investor, the
Trust Company, Agent, or any Lender has provided or will provide tax, accounting
or legal advice to Lessee regarding this Lease, the Operative Agreements or the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, or made any representations or
warranties concerning the tax, accounting or legal characteristics of the
Operative Agreements, and that Lessee has obtained and relied upon such tax,
accounting and legal advice concerning the Operative Agreements as it deems
appropriate.
(c) Lessor and Lessee further intend and agree that in the event of
any insolvency or receivership proceedings or a petition under the United States
bankruptcy laws or any other applicable insolvency laws or statute of the United
States of America or any State or
<PAGE>
Commonwealth thereof affecting Lessee or Lessor, the transactions evidenced by
this Lease shall be regarded as loans made by an unrelated third party lender to
Lessee.

providing all books, reports and records regarding the maintenance, repair and
ownership of the Property and all data and technical information relating
thereto, granting or assigning all licenses necessary for the operation and
maintenance of the Property and cooperating in seeking and obtaining all
necessary licenses, permits and approvals of Governmental Authorities. Lessee
shall have also paid the total cost for the completion of all Modifications

obligation of Lessee under this Section 10.1(c) shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Lease.
10.2 Right of Inspection. Lessor may, at reasonable times and with
-------------------
reasonable prior notice, enter upon, inspect and examine at its own cost and
expense (unless a Lease Event of Default exists, in which case the out-of-pocket
costs and expenses of Lessor shall be paid by Lessee), the Property. Lessee
shall furnish to Lessor statements, no more than once per year, accurate in all
material respects, regarding the condition and state of repair of the Property.

that the Property or any portion thereof (i) does not contain Hazardous
Substances under circumstances or in concentrations that could result in a
violation of or liability under any Environmental Law and (ii) is in compliance
with all Environmental Laws. If such is not the case on either such date, then

Option pursuant to Section 20.2.
SECTION 11. MODIFICATIONS
11.1 Modifications, Substitutions and Replacements. (a) So long as
---------------------------------------------

cost and expense, may at any time and from time to time make alterations,
renovations, improvements and additions to the Property or any part thereof

------------- --------
required to be made pursuant to a Legal Requirement or an Insurance Requirement,
no Modification, individually, or when aggregated with any (A) other

Property. All Modifications (other than those that may be readily removed
without impairing the value, utility or remaining useful life of the Property)
shall remain part of the realty and shall be subject to this Lease, and title
thereto shall immediately vest in Lessor. So long as no Lease Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, Lessee may place upon the Property any
inventory, trade fixtures, machinery, equipment or other property belonging to
Lessee or third parties and may remove the same at any time during the term of
this Lease; provided that such inventory, trade fixtures, machinery, equipment
--------
or other property, or their respective operations, do not materially impair the
value, utility or remaining useful life of the Property.
(b) Lessee shall notify Lessor of the undertaking of any Modifications
to the Property the cost of which is anticipated to exceed $500,000. Prior to
undertaking any such Modifications, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor (i) a brief
narrative of the work to be done and a copy of the plans and specifications
relating to such work; and (ii) an Officer's Certificate stating that such work
when completed will not impair the value, utility or remaining life of the
Property. Lessor, by itself or its agents, shall have the right, but not the

same is completed consistent with the plans and specifications.

prior to the Expiration Date that exceed $250,000 in cost.

12.1 Warranty of Title. (a) Lessee agrees that, except as otherwise
-----------------
provided herein and subject to the terms of Section 13 relating to permitted

attachment, levy, title retention agreement or claim upon the Property or any
Modifications or any Lien, attachment, levy or claim with respect to the Rent or

other than Permitted Liens. Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor in the event it
receives knowledge that a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) exists with respect
to the Property.

the consent or request of Lessor, expressed or implied, to or for the
performance by any contractor, mechanic, laborer, materialman, supplier or
vendor of any labor or services or for the furnishing of any materials for any
construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the Property
or any part thereof. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT LESSOR IS NOT AND SHALL NOT BE
LIABLE FOR ANY LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO
LESSEE, OR TO ANYONE HOLDING THE PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF THROUGH OR UNDER
LESSEE, AND THAT NO MECHANIC'S OR OTHER LIENS FOR ANY SUCH LABOR, SERVICES OR
MATERIALS SHALL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE INTEREST OF LESSOR IN AND TO THE
PROPERTY.
12.2 Grants and Releases of Easements. Provided that no Lease Event
--------------------------------
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and subject to the provisions
of Sections 8, 9, 10 and 11, Lessor hereby consents to the following actions by
Lessee, in the name and stead of Lessor, but at Lessee's sole cost and expense:

release, dedication or transfer does not impair the value or utility or
remaining useful life of the Property, (ii) such grant, release, dedication or
transfer is necessary or desirable in
<PAGE>
connection with the construction, use, maintenance, alteration, renovation or
improvement of the Property, (iii) Lessee shall remain obligated under this

of Lessor's interest in this Lease as security for indebtedness, in each such
case in accordance with their terms, as though such grant, release, dedication
or transfer, had not been effected and (iv) Lessee shall pay and perform any
obligations of Lessor under such grant, release, dedication or transfer. Without
limiting the effectiveness of the foregoing, provided that no Lease Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor shall, upon the request of

instruments necessary or appropriate to confirm any such grant, release,
dedication or transfer to any Person permitted under this Section.

and expense, may contest, by appropriate administrative or judicial proceedings
conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount, validity or
application, in whole or in part, of any Legal Requirement, or utility charges
payable pursuant to Section 4.1 or any Lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance or
encroachment, and Lessor agrees not to pay, settle or otherwise compromise any
such item, provided that (a) the commencement and continuation of such
proceedings shall suspend the collection thereof from, and suspend the
enforcement thereof against the Property, Lessor, the Agent, the Investor and
the Lenders; (b) there shall be no risk of the imposition of a Lien (other than
a Permitted Lien) on the Property and no part of the Property nor any Rent would

comply therewith; and (d) in the event that, at any time, there shall be a
material risk of extending the application of such item beyond the earlier of
the Maturity Date and the Expiration Date for the Property, then Lessee shall
deliver to Lessor an Officer's Certificate certifying as to the matters set
forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 13.1. Lessor, at Lessee's
sole cost and expense, shall execute and deliver to Lessee such authorizations

contest and, if reasonably requested by Lessee, shall join as a party therein at
Lessee's sole cost and expense.

the Term, Lessee shall procure and carry, at Lessee's sole cost and expense,
commercial general liability insurance for claims for injuries or death

insurance maintained by owners of similar properties, that are in accordance
with normal industry practice. The policy shall be endorsed to name Lessor, the
Trust Company, the Investor, the Agent and the Lenders as additional insureds.
The policy shall also specifically provide that the policy shall be considered
primary insurance which shall apply to any loss or claim before
<PAGE>
any contribution by any insurance which Lessor, the Trust Company, the Agent or
the Lenders may have in force. Lessee shall, in the operation of the Property,
comply with the applicable workers' compensation laws and protect Lessor against
any liability under such laws.
14.2 Hazard and Other Insurance. (a) During the Term, Lessee shall
--------------------------
keep the Property insured against loss or damage by fire and other risks on

practice, are in amounts equal to the actual replacement cost of the
Improvements. Lessee shall keep the Property insured against loss or damage by
earthquake on terms and in amounts that are either (i) no less favorable than
insurance maintained by owners of similar properties, that are in accordance
with normal industry practice or (ii) on terms acceptable to Agent. In no
event, after the release or rerelease of the Cash Collateral pursuant to Section
8(b) of the Cash Collateral Agreement, shall insurance terms acceptable to Agent
be less favorable than insurance maintained by owners of similar properties,
that are in accordance with normal industry practice. So long as no Lease Event
of Default exists, any loss payable under the insurance policy required by this
Section will be paid to and adjusted solely by Lessee, subject to Section 15.
(b) If at any time during the Term the area in which the Property is
located is designated a "flood-prone" area pursuant to the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973 or any amendments or supplements thereto, then Lessee

Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as may be amended. In addition, Lessee will
fully comply with the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968

to time, and with any other Legal Requirement, concerning flood insurance to the
extent that it applies to the Property.

--------
certificates showing the insurance required under Sections 14.1 and 14.2 to be
in effect and naming Agent, the Lenders, the Lessor, the Investor, and the Trust
Company as an additional insured with respect to liability insurance and showing
the mortgagee endorsement required by Section 14.3(c). All such insurance shall
be at the cost and expense of Lessee. Such certificates shall include a
provision in which the insurer agrees to provide thirty (30) days' advance
written notice by the insurer to Lessor and the Agent in the event of
cancellation or modification of such insurance that could be adverse to the
interests of Lessor, the Trust Company, the Agent, the Lenders or the Investor.
If a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lessor so
requests, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor copies of all insurance policies
required by this Lease.
(b) Lessee agrees that the insurance policy or policies required by
this Lease shall include an appropriate clause pursuant to which such policy
shall provide that it will not be invalidated should Lessee waive, in writing,
prior to a loss, any or all rights of recovery against any party for losses
covered by such policy. Lessee hereby waives any and all such rights against
Lessor, the Trust Company, the Investor, the Agent and the Lenders to the extent
of payments made under such policies.
<PAGE>
(c) All insurance policies required by Section 14.2 shall include a
"New York" or standard form mortgagee endorsement in favor of the Agent.

concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss with any
insurance required under this Lease except that Lessor may carry separate
liability insurance so long as (i) Lessee's insurance is designated as primary
and in no event excess or contributory to any insurance Lessor may have in force
which would apply to a loss covered under Lessee's policy and (ii) each such
insurance policy will not cause Lessee's insurance required under this Lease to
be subject to a coinsurance exception of any kind.
(e) Lessee shall pay as they become due all premiums for the insurance
required by this Lease, shall renew or replace each policy prior to the
expiration date thereof and shall promptly deliver to Lessor and the Agent
certificates for renewal and replacement policies.

-------------------------
this Section 15 and Section 16 (in the event Lessee delivers, or is obligated to
deliver, a Termination Notice), and prior to the occurrence and continuation of
a Lease Default, Lessee shall be entitled to receive (and Lessor hereby
irrevocably assigns to Lessee all of Lessor's right, title and interest in) any
award, compensation or insurance proceeds to which Lessee or Lessor may become

Casualty or (ii) if the use, access, occupancy, easement rights or title to the
Property or any part thereof is the subject of a Condemnation; provided,

-------
compensation or insurance proceeds shall be paid directly to Lessor or, if
received by Lessee, shall be held in trust for Lessor, and shall be paid over by
Lessee to Lessor, and provided further that in the event of any Casualty or
-------- -------
Condemnation, the estimated cost of restoration of which is in excess of

and shall be paid over by Lessee to Lessor to be held and applied by Lessor
toward payment of the cost of restoration in accordance with Section 15.1(e),
or, if applicable, in accordance with Section 16.
(b) Lessee may appear in any proceeding or action to negotiate,
prosecute, adjust or appeal any claim for any award, compensation or insurance
payment on account of any such Casualty or Condemnation and shall pay all
expenses thereof; provided that if the estimated cost of restoration of the
--------
Property or the payment on account of such title defect is in excess of
$5,000,000 and no Lease or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then
Lessor shall be entitled to participate in any such proceeding or action. At
Lessee's reasonable request, and at Lessee's sole cost and expense, Lessor and
the Agent shall participate in any such proceeding, action, negotiation,
prosecution or adjustment. Lessor and Lessee agree that this Lease shall
control the rights of Lessor and Lessee in and to any such award, compensation
or insurance payment.
<PAGE>
(c) If Lessor or Lessee shall receive notice of a Casualty relating to
any material portion of the Property or a possible Condemnation of the Property
or any interest therein, Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, shall give notice
thereof to the other and to the Agent promptly after the receipt of such notice.
(d) In the event of a Casualty or receipt of notice by Lessee or
Lessor of a Condemnation, Lessee shall, not later than thirty (30) days after
such occurrence, deliver to Lessor and the Agent an Officer's Certificate
stating that either (i) (x) such Casualty is not a Significant Casualty or (y)
such Condemnation is neither a Total Condemnation nor a Significant Condemnation
and that this Lease shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the
Property and, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, Lessee shall promptly and
diligently restore the Property in accordance with the terms of Section 15.1(e)
or (ii) this Lease shall terminate with respect to the Property in accordance
with Section 16.1.
(e) If pursuant to this Section 15.1, this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect following a Casualty or Condemnation with respect to the
Property, Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly and diligently
repair any damage to the Property caused by such Casualty or Condemnation in
conformity with the requirements of Sections 10.1 and 11.1 using the as-built
plans and specifications for the Property (as modified to give effect to any
subsequent Modifications, any Condemnation affecting the Property and all
applicable Legal Requirements) so as to restore the Property (i) substantially
to the same condition, operation, function and (ii) to the same value as existed
immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation. In such event, title to the
Property shall remain with Lessor. Lessor shall make disbursements from time to
time of any award, compensation or insurance proceeds held by it to Lessee for
application to the cost of restoration subject to the satisfaction of the
following conditions: (i) Lessor shall have received a fully executed
counterpart of a Requisition requesting funds in an amount not exceeding the
cost of work completed or incurred since the last disbursement, together with
reasonably satisfactory evidence of the stage of completion and of performance
of the work in a good and workman-like manner and in accordance with the as-
built plans and specifications, (ii) at the time of any such disbursement, no

shall be reasonably satisfied that sufficient funds are available to complete
such restoration and (iv) title to the Property shall conform to the

(f) In no event shall a Casualty or Condemnation with respect to which
this Lease remains in full force and effect under this Section 15.1 affect
Lessee's obligations to pay Rent pursuant to Section 3.1.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section
15.1(a) or Section 15.1(e), if during the Term a Casualty occurs with respect to
the Property or Lessee receives notice of a Condemnation with respect to the
Property, and following such Casualty or Condemnation, (i) the Property cannot
reasonably be restored on or before the date which is
<PAGE>
twelve months prior to the Maturity Date to substantially the same condition as
existed immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation or before such day
the Property is not in fact so restored or (ii) the estimated cost of
restoration of which is greater than $15,000,000, then Lessee shall exercise its
Purchase Option with respect to the Property on the next Payment Date or

Condemnation proceeds shall be paid to the Agent, which shall pay such funds to

(i), (j) or (l) of the Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be
continuing;
then, in any such event, Lessor may, in addition to the other rights and
remedies provided for in this Section 17 and in Section 18.1, terminate this
Lease by giving Lessee ten (10) days notice of such termination, and this Lease
shall terminate. Lessee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, pay as

amount agreed upon, Lessor shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable
under such statute or rule of law. It is the intent of the
<PAGE>
Lessor and the Lessee that the payment required to be made pursuant to this
Section together with the payment of the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount shall
be treated as an obligation on the part of the Lessee to repay a loan obligation
to the Lenders and the Lessor in such amounts; provided, that Lessee shall not
--------
be entitled to receive an assignment of Lessor's interest in the Property unless
Lessee shall have paid in full the Termination Value of the Property.
17.3 Lease Remedies. Lessor and Lessee intend that for commercial
--------------
law and bankruptcy law purposes, this Lease will be treated as a financing
arrangement, as set forth in Section 7. If, as a result of applicable state
law, which cannot be waived, this Lease is deemed to be a lease of the Property,
rather than a financing arrangement, and Lessor is unable to enforce the
remedies set forth in Section 17.2, the following remedies shall be available to
Lessor:
(a) Surrender of Possession. If a Lease Event of Default shall have
-----------------------
occurred and be continuing, and whether or not this Lease shall have been
terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee shall, upon thirty (30) days written
notice, surrender to Lessor possession of the Property and Lessee shall quit the
same. Lessor may enter upon and repossess the Property by such means as are
available at law or in equity, and may remove Lessee and any and all personal
property and Lessee's equipment and personalty and severable Modifications from
the Property. Lessor shall have no liability by reason of any such entry,
repossession or removal performed in accordance with applicable law.
(b) Reletting. If a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be
---------
continuing, and whether or not this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to
Section 17.1, Lessor may, but shall be under no obligation to, relet all, or any
portion, of the Property, for the account of Lessee or otherwise, for such term
or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise
have constituted the balance of the Term) and on such conditions (which may
include concessions or free rent) and for such purposes as Lessor may determine,
and Lessor may collect, receive and retain the rents resulting from such
reletting. Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any failure to relet the
Property or for any failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting.
(c) Damages. None of (i) the termination of this Lease pursuant to
-------
Section 17.1; (ii) the repossession of the Property; or (iii) except to the
extent required by applicable law, the failure of Lessor to relet all, or any
portion, of the Property, the reletting of all or any portion thereof, nor the
failure of Lessor to collect or receive any rentals due upon any such reletting
shall relieve Lessee of its liability and obligations hereunder, all of which
shall survive any such termination, repossession or reletting. If any Lease
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and notwithstanding any
termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee shall forthwith pay
to Lessor all Basic Rent and other sums due and payable hereunder to and
including the date of such termination. Thereafter, on the days on which the
Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent, as applicable, are payable under this Lease or
would have been payable under this Lease if the same had not been terminated
pursuant to Section 17.1 and until the end of the Term or what would have been
the Term in the absence of such termination, Lessee shall pay Lessor, as current
liquidated damages (it being agreed that it would be impossible accurately to
determine actual damages) an amount equal to the Basic Rent and Supplemental
Rent that are payable under this Lease or would have been payable by Lessee
hereunder if this Lease had not
<PAGE>
been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, less the net proceeds, if any, which
are actually received by Lessor with respect to the period in question of any
reletting of the Property or any portion thereof; provided that Lessee's
--------
obligation to make payments of Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent under this
Section 17.3 shall continue only so long as Lessor shall not have received the
amounts specified in Section 17.2. In calculating the amount of such net
proceeds from reletting, there shall be deducted all of Lessor's, the Agent's
and any Lenders' reasonable expenses in connection therewith, including
repossession costs, brokerage commissions, fees and expenses for counsel and any
necessary repair or alteration costs and expenses incurred in preparation for
such reletting. To the extent Lessor receives any damages pursuant to this
Section 17.3, such amounts shall be regarded as amounts paid on account of Rent.
(d) Acceleration of Rent. If a Lease Event of Default shall have
--------------------
occurred and be continuing, and this Lease shall not have been terminated
pursuant to Section 17.1, and whether or not Lessor shall have collected any
current liquidated damages pursuant to Section 17.3(c), Lessor may upon written
notice to Lessee accelerate all payments of Basic Rent due hereunder and, upon
such acceleration, Lessee shall immediately pay Lessor, as and for final
liquidated damages and in lieu of all current liquidated damages on account of
such Lease Event of Default beyond the date of such acceleration (it being
agreed that it would be impossible accurately to determine actual damages) an
amount equal to the sum of (a) all Basic Rent (assuming interest at a rate per
annum equal to the Overdue Rate), as applicable, due from the date of such
acceleration until the end of the Term, plus (b) the Maximum Residual Guarantee
----
Amount that would be payable under Section 21.1(c) assuming the proceeds of the
sale pursuant to such Section 21.1(c) are equal to zero, which sum is then
discounted to present value at a rate equal to the rate then being paid on
United States treasury securities with maturities corresponding to the then
remaining Term. Following payment of such amount by Lessee, Lessee will be
permitted to stay in possession of the Property for the remainder of the Term,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, including the obligation to
pay Supplemental Rent, provided that no further Lease Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, following which Lessor shall have all the rights and
remedies set forth in this Section 17 (but not including those set forth in this
Section 17.3). If any statute or rule of law shall limit the amount of such
final liquidated damages to less than the amount agreed upon, Lessor shall be
entitled to the maximum amount allowable under such statute or rule of law.
17.4 Waiver of Certain Rights. If this Lease shall be terminated
------------------------
pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
(a) any notice of re-entry or the institution of legal proceedings to obtain re-
entry or possession; (b) any right of redemption, re-entry or repossession; (c)
the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from
liability for rent or for debt; and (d) any other rights which might otherwise
limit or modify any of Lessor's rights or remedies under this Section 17.
17.5 Assignment of Rights Under Contracts. If a Lease Event of
------------------------------------
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not this Lease
shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee shall upon Lessor's
demand immediately assign, transfer and set over to Lessor all of Lessee's
right, title and interest in and to each agreement executed by Lessee in
connection with the construction, renovation, development, use or operation of
the Property (including all right, title and interest of Lessee with respect to
all warranty, performance, service
<PAGE>
and indemnity provisions), as and to the extent that the same relate to the
construction renovation, and operation of the Property.
17.6 Remedies Cumulative. Lessor shall be entitled to enforce
-------------------
payment of the indebtedness and performance of the obligations secured hereby
and to exercise all rights and powers under this instrument or under any of the
other Operative Agreements or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in
force, notwithstanding some or all of the obligation secured hereby may now or
hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, security agreement, pledge,
lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this instrument nor
its enforcement, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Lessor's right to
realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Lessor, it
being agreed that Lessor shall be entitled to enforce this instrument and any
other security now or hereafter held by Lessor in such order and manner as
Lessor may determine in its absolute discretion. No remedy herein conferred
upon or reserved to Lessor is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy
herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall
be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any
of the Operative Agreements to Lessor or to which it may otherwise be entitled
may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often
as may be deemed expedient by Lessor. In no event shall Lessor, in the exercise
of the remedies provided in this instrument, be deemed a "mortgagee in
possession," and Lessor shall not in any way be made liable for any act, either
of commission or omission, in connection with the exercise of such remedies.
SECTION 18. LESSOR'S RIGHT TO CURE
18.1 Lessor's Right to Cure Lessee's Lease Defaults. Lessor, without
----------------------------------------------
waiving or releasing any obligation or Lease Event of Default, may (but shall be
under no obligation to) remedy any Lease Event of Default for the account and at
the sole cost and expense of Lessee, including the failure by Lessee to maintain
any insurance required by Section 14, and may, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, and notwithstanding any right of quiet enjoyment in favor of Lessee,
enter upon the Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon as may
be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction
of Lessee. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses so incurred
(including the fees and expenses of counsel), together with interest thereon at
the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid by
Lessor, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on demand as Supplemental Rent.
SECTION 19. LEASE TERMINATION
19.1 Provisions Relating to Lessee's Termination of this Lease or
------------------------------------------------------------
Exercise of Purchase Option. In connection with the termination of this Lease
---------------------------
pursuant to the terms of Section 16.2, or in connection with Lessee's exercise
of its Purchase Option or Maturity Date Purchase Option, upon the date on which
this Lease is to terminate or upon the Expiration Date, and upon tender by
Lessee of the amounts set forth in Section 16.2(b), 20.1 or 20.2, as applicable:
<PAGE>
(a) Lessor shall execute and deliver to Lessee (or to Lessee's
designee) at Lessee's cost and expense an assignment of Lessor's entire
interest in the Property, in each case in recordable form and otherwise in
conformity with local custom and free and clear of the Lien of the Mortgage
and any Lessor Liens; and
(b) The Property shall be conveyed to Lessee "AS IS" and in then
present physical condition.
SECTION 20. PURCHASE OPTION
20.1 Purchase Option. Provided that no Lease Default or Lease Event
---------------
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall have the option
(exercisable by giving Lessor irrevocable written notice (the "Purchase Notice")
---------------
of Lessee's election, which election shall be irrevocable, to exercise such
option not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of purchase pursuant to
such option) to purchase the Property on the date specified in such Purchase
Notice, which date must occur prior to the date which is twelve months prior to
the Maturity Date, at a price equal to the Termination Value (the "Purchase
--------
Option Price") (which the parties do not intend to be a "bargain" purchase
------------
price) of the Property. If Lessee exercises its option to purchase the Property
pursuant to this Section 20.1 (the "Purchase Option"), Lessor shall quitclaim to
---------------
Lessee or Lessee's designee all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to
the Property as of the date specified in the Purchase Notice upon receipt of the
Purchase Option Price and all Rent and other amounts then due and payable under
this Lease and any other Operative Agreement, in accordance with Section 19.1.
20.2 Maturity Date Purchase Option. Not less than twelve months
-----------------------------
prior to the Maturity Date, if Lessee does not give Lessor and Agent written
notice to the contrary, Lessee shall be deemed to have given Lessor and Agent
irrevocable notice (the "Maturity Date Election Notice") that Lessee is electing
-----------------------------
to exercise the Maturity Date Purchase Option. If Lessee gives notice that it
will not exercise the Maturity Date Election Notice on or before the date twelve
months prior to the Maturity Date, then Lessee shall be obligated to remarket
the Property pursuant to Section 21. If Lessee has elected to exercise the
Maturity Date Purchase Option, then on the Maturity Date Lessee shall pay to
Lessor an amount equal to the Termination Value for all the Property (which the
parties do not intend to be a "bargain" purchase price) and, upon receipt of
such amount plus all Rent and other amounts then due and payable under this
Lease and any other Operative Agreement, Lessor shall transfer to Lessee or
Lessee's designee all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the
Property in accordance with Section 19.1.
SECTION 21. SALE OF PROPERTY
21.1 Sale Procedure. (a) Unless Lessee shall have elected to
--------------
purchase the Property and has paid the Purchase Option Price with respect
thereto, or otherwise terminated this Lease with respect thereto and paid the
Termination Value with respect thereto, Lessee shall
<PAGE>
(i) pay to Lessor the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount as provided for in
Section 21.1(c), and (ii) sell the Property to one or more third parties for
cash in accordance with Section 21.1(b).
(b) During the Marketing Period, Lessee, as nonexclusive broker for
Lessor, shall use its best efforts to obtain bids for the cash purchase of the
Property being sold for the highest price available in the relevant market,
shall notify Lessor promptly of the name and address of each prospective
purchaser and the cash price which each prospective purchaser shall have offered
to pay for the Property and shall provide Lessor with such additional
information about the bids and the bid solicitation procedure as Lessor may
request from time to time. In connection with any such sale of the Property,
the Lessee will provide to the prospective purchaser all customary seller's
indemnities, representations and warranties regarding title, absence of Liens
(except Permitted Liens and Lessor Liens) and the condition of the Property, as
well as such other terms and conditions as may be negotiated between the Lessee
and the prospective purchaser. Lessee shall have obtained, at its cost and
expense, all required governmental and regulatory consents and approvals and
shall have made all filings as required by applicable law in order to carry out
and complete the transfer of the Property. As to Lessor, any such sale shall be
made on an "as is, with all faults" basis without representation or warranty by
the Lessor other than the absence of Lessor Liens. Lessor may reject any and
all bids and may assume sole responsibility for obtaining bids by giving Lessee
written notice to that effect; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
-------- -------
foregoing, Lessor may not reject a bid if such bid, together with any amounts to
be paid pursuant to Section 21.3, is greater than or equal to the sum of the
Limited Deficiency Amount and all costs and expenses referred to in Section
21.2(i) and is a bona fide offer by a third party purchaser who is not an
Affiliate of Lessee. If the price which a prospective purchaser shall have
offered to pay for the Property is less than the sum of the Limited Deficiency
Amount and all costs and expenses referred to in Section 21.2(i), Lessor may
elect to retain the Property by giving Lessee at least two Business Days' prior
written notice of Lessor's election to retain the Property, and upon receipt of
such notice, Lessee shall surrender the Property to Lessor pursuant to Section
10.1(c). Unless Lessor shall have elected to retain the Property pursuant to
the preceding sentence, Lessor shall sell the Property free of any Lessor Liens
attributable to it, without recourse or warranty, for cash to the purchaser or
purchasers identified by Lessee or Lessor, as the case may be. Lessee shall
surrender the Property so sold to each purchaser in the condition specified in
Section 10.1.
(c) On the earlier of (i) the date on which the Property is sold
pursuant to Section 21.1(b), and (ii) the Maturity Date, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount.
21.2 Application of Proceeds of Sale. Lessor shall apply the
-------------------------------
proceeds of sale of the Property in the following order of priority:
(i) FIRST, to pay or to reimburse Lessor for the payment of all
-----
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with the
sale; and
(ii) SECOND, the balance shall be paid to the Agent to be applied
------
pursuant to the provisions of the Credit Agreement.
<PAGE>
21.3 Indemnity for Excessive Wear. If the proceeds of the sale
----------------------------
described in Section 21.1(b), less all expenses incurred by Lessor in connection
with such sale, shall be less than the Limited Deficiency Amount at the time of
such sale and if it shall have been determined (pursuant to the Appraisal
Procedure) that the Fair Market Sales Value shall have been impaired by greater
than expected wear and tear during the Term, Lessee shall pay to Lessor within
ten (10) days after receipt of Lessor's written statement (i) the amount of such
excess wear and tear determined by the Appraisal Procedure or (ii) the amount of
the Net Sale Proceeds Shortfall, whichever amount is less.
21.4 Appraisal Procedure. For determining the Fair Market Sales
-------------------
Value of the Property or any other amount which may, pursuant to any provision
of any Operative Agreement, be determined by an appraisal procedure, Lessor and
Lessee shall use the following procedure (the "Appraisal Procedure"). Lessor
-------------------
and Lessee shall endeavor in good faith to reach a mutual agreement as to such
amount for a period of ten (10) days from commencement of the Appraisal
Procedure, and if they cannot agree within ten (10) days, then two qualified
appraisers, one chosen by Lessee and one chosen by Lessor, shall mutually agree
thereupon, but if either party shall fail to choose an appraiser within twenty
(20) days after notice from the other party of the selection of its appraiser,
then the appraisal by such appointed appraiser shall be binding on Lessee and
Lessor. If the two appraisers cannot agree within twenty (20) days after both
shall have been appointed, then a third appraiser shall be selected by the two
appraisers or, failing agreement as to such third appraiser within thirty (30)
days after both shall have been appointed, by the American Arbitration
Association. The decisions of the three appraisers shall be given within twenty
(20) days of the appointment of the third appraiser and the decision of the
appraiser most different from the average of the other two shall be discarded
and such average shall be binding on Lessor and Lessee; provided that if the
--------
highest appraisal and the lowest appraisal are equidistant from the third
appraisal, the third appraisal shall be binding on Lessor and Lessee. The fees
and expenses of all of the appraisers shall be paid by the Lessee.
21.5 Certain Obligations Continue. During the Marketing Period, the
----------------------------
obligation of Lessee to pay Rent with respect to the Property (including the
installment of Basic Rent due on the Maturity Date) shall continue undiminished
until payment in full to Lessor of the sale proceeds, the Maximum Residual
Guarantee Amount, if any, the amount due under Section 21.3, if any, and all
other amounts due to Lessor with respect to the Property. Lessor shall have the
right, but shall be under no duty, to solicit bids, to inquire into the efforts
of Lessee to obtain bids or otherwise to take action in connection with any such
sale, other than as expressly provided in this Section 21.
SECTION 22. HOLDING OVER
22.1 Holding Over. If Lessee shall for any reason remain in
------------
possession of the Property after the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease (unless the Property is conveyed to Lessee), such possession shall be as a
tenancy at sufferance during which time Lessee shall continue to pay
Supplemental Rent that would be payable by Lessee hereunder were the Lease then
in full force and effect with respect to the Property and Lessee shall continue
to pay Basic Rent at an annual rate equal to the rate payable hereunder
immediately preceding such expiration
<PAGE>
or earlier termination; provided, however, that from and after the sixtieth
-------- -------
(60th) day Lessee shall remain in possession of the Property after such
expiration or earlier termination, Lessee shall pay Basic Rent at an annual rate
equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Basic Rent payable hereunder
immediately preceding such expiration or earlier termination. Such Basic Rent
shall be payable from time to time upon demand by Lessor. During any period of
tenancy at sufferance, Lessee shall, subject to the second preceding sentence,
be obligated to perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions
of this Lease, but shall have no rights hereunder other than the right, to the
extent given by law to tenants at sufferance, to continue its occupancy and use
of the Property. Nothing contained in this Section 22 shall constitute the
consent, express or implied, of Lessor to the holding over of Lessee after the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease as to the Property and nothing
contained herein shall be read or construed as preventing Lessor from
maintaining a suit for possession of the Property or exercising any other remedy
available to Lessor at law or in equity.
SECTION 23. RISK OF LOSS
23.1 Risk of Loss. The risk of loss of or decrease in the enjoyment
------------
and beneficial use of the Property as a result of the damage or destruction
thereof by fire, the elements, casualties, thefts, riots, wars or otherwise is
assumed by Lessee, and Lessor shall in no event be answerable or accountable
therefor.
SECTION 24. SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT
24.1 Subletting. (a) The Lessee may not assign this Lease hereunder
----------
in whole or in part. The Lessee from time to time, may sublease the Property or
any portion thereof to any Person and extend, modify or renew any sublease
without the approval of Lessor, the Agent or the Lenders; provided, however,
that (i) no sublease or other relinquishment of possession of all or any portion
of the Property shall in any way discharge or diminish any of the Lessee's
obligations to the Lessor hereunder, and the Lessee shall remain directly and
primarily liable under this Lease as to the Property, or portion thereof, so
sublet and (ii) each sublease to an Affiliate of the Lessee shall be made
subject and subordinate to this Lease and the rights of the Lessor hereunder.
(b) Lessor hereby agrees, that, in the event of the early termination
of this Lease from any cause whatsoever, and while any sublease is in full force
and effect, such termination of this Lease shall not act as a merger or other
termination of such sublease, and Lessee's interest as sublessor in such
sublease shall be deemed automatically assigned, transferred, and conveyed to
Lessor; and, from and after such termination, Lessor shall be bound by the
provisions of the sublease then in full force and effect on the part of the
Lessee, as sublessor; and that the sublessee shall be deemed thereupon and
without further act to have attorned to Lessor. It is the intention hereof to
provide that the termination of this Lease while such sublease is in full force
and effect shall not, in any way, by reason thereof, terminate such sublease or
affect the rights of such sublessee. The foregoing is subject to the right of
Lessee (or Lessor, if the Lease has terminated) to terminate any sublease which
is in default (notice thereof, if any required, having been given and the time
for curing such default having expired) and any other rights and
<PAGE>
remedies reserved to Lessee in such sublease, the right of Lessor to terminate
any sublease made (i) with an Affiliate of Lessee, (ii) on terms less than fair
market value for similar properties in the San Jose, California metropolitan
area at the inception of such sublease or (iii) having an area of 7,500 square
feet or less, and any other rights and remedies afforded to a lessor of real
property against a defaulting lessee.
24.2 Subleases. Promptly following the execution and delivery of any
---------
sublease permitted by this Section 24, Lessee shall deliver a copy of such
executed sublease to Lessor and the Agent.
24.3 Assignment of Rents. As long as a Lease Event of Default does
-------------------
not occur, Lessee shall collect and receive all rents from any sublessees.
SECTION 25. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
25.1 Estoppel Certificates. At any time and from time to time upon
---------------------
not less than twenty (20) days' prior request by Lessor or Lessee (the
"Requesting Party"), the other shall furnish to the Requesting Party an
Officer's Certificate certifying that this Lease is in full force and effect (or
that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and setting forth the
modifications); the dates to which the Basic Rent or Renewal Rent and
Supplemental Rent have been paid; to the best knowledge of the signer of such
certificate, whether or not the Lessor is in default under any of its
obligations hereunder (and, if so, the nature of such alleged default); and such
other matters under this Lease as the Requesting Party may reasonably request.
Any such certificate furnished pursuant to this Section 25 may be relied upon by
the Requesting Party, and any existing or prospective mortgagee, purchaser or
lender, and any accountant or auditor, of, from or to the Requesting Party (or
any Affiliate or assignee thereof).
SECTION 26. NO WAIVER
26.1 No Waiver. No failure by Lessor or Lessee to insist upon the
---------
strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy
upon a default hereunder, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent
during the continuance of any such default, shall constitute a waiver of any
such default or of any such term. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no
waiver of any default shall affect or alter this Lease, and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or
subsequent default.
<PAGE>
SECTION 27. ACCEPTANCE OF SURRENDER
27.1 Acceptance of Surrender. Except as otherwise expressly provided
-----------------------
in this Lease, no surrender to Lessor of this Lease or of all or any portion of
the Property or of any interest therein shall be valid or effective unless
agreed to and accepted in writing by Lessor and, prior to the payment or
performance of all obligations under the Credit Documents, the Agent, and no act
by Lessor or the Agent or any representative or agent of Lessor or the Agent,
other than a written acceptance, shall constitute an acceptance of any such
surrender.
SECTION 28. NO MERGER OF TITLE
28.1 No Merger of Title. There shall be no merger of this Lease or
------------------
of the leasehold estate created hereby by reason of the fact that the same
Person may acquire, own or hold, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part,
(a) this Lease or the leasehold estate created hereby or any interest in this
Lease or such leasehold estate, (b) the fee estate in the Property, except as
may expressly be stated in a written instrument duly executed and delivered by
the appropriate Person, or (c) a beneficial interest in Lessor.
SECTION 29. NOTICES
29.1 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the
-------
respective parties hereto to be effective shall be given pursuant to the
provisions of Section 13.3 of the Participation Agreement.
SECTION 30. MISCELLANEOUS
30.1 Miscellaneous. Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary
-------------
notwithstanding, all claims against and liabilities of Lessee or Lessor arising
from events commencing prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease shall survive such expiration or earlier termination. If any term or
provision of this Lease or any application thereof shall be declared invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease and any other application of such
term or provision shall not be affected thereby. If any right or option of
Lessee provided in this Lease, including any right or option described in
Sections 15, 16, 22 or 21, would, in the absence of the limitation imposed by
this sentence, be invalid or unenforceable as being in violation of the rule
against perpetuities or any other rule of law relating to the vesting of an
interest in or the suspension of the power of alienation of property, then such
right or option shall be exercisable only during the period which shall end
twenty-one (21) years after the date of death of the last survivor of the
descendants of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the former President of the United States,
Henry Ford, the deceased automobile manufacturer, and John D. Rockefeller, the
founder of the Standard Oil Company, known to be alive on the date of the
execution and delivery of this Lease.

30.2 Amendments and Modifications. Neither this Lease nor any
----------------------------
provision hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated except by an
instrument in writing signed by Lessor and Lessee.
30.3 Successors and Assigns. All the terms and provisions of this
----------------------
Lease shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.
30.4 Headings and Table of Contents. The headings and table of
------------------------------
contents in this Lease are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit
or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
30.5 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in any number of
------------
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall
together constitute one and the same instrument.
30.6 GOVERNING LAW. THIS LEASE HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN, AND SHALL IN
-------------
ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY
WITHIN SUCH STATE, EXCEPT AS TO MATTERS RELATING TO THE CREATION, PERFECTION AND

assets of Lessor, the Trust Company member, partner or other owner of an
interest, direct or indirect, in Lessor, or any director, officer, shareholder,

remedies under or with respect to this Lease, the relationship of Lessor and
Lessee hereunder or Lessee's use of the Property or any other liability of
Lessor to Lessee; provided that nothing in this Section shall be construed to
